Yet another article —this one from Harvard— discussing why Aspies and Auties are so good at programming and, my personal favourite, QA!! Our perseverative tendencies make us very good at this kind of work, and lo and behold, even with the "social defiicits" (such as they are), it turns out these skills are both important and financially meaningful for the company! IMAGINE THAT!
What is with "managers" not GETTING it? So obvious.
I'm not bitter. Oh wait, yes I am. Well, maybe a little. But not in the way that will make me embrace wacky religions, worship guns, or start to resent immigrants. Being one myself and all.
Check out the Harvard Business School article here.
Their "Executive Summary", for anyone too busy to actually read a short article and get some context. Heh.
